The Hemsworth brothers are the crown jewels of Australia, each one carving out
their own place in the Hollywood landscape. Chris Hemsworth launched his acting
career back in 2002, landing small parts on TV shows and working his way up to
his first major movie role in 2009’s Star Trek. 



From there, Hemsworth quickly went on to become a household name with roles in
just about every genre there is — from action, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and
comic book content.



Though Hemsworth is best known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic
Universe, he has a vast catalog of respected work on TV and in movies. Between
the MCU and Cabin in the Woods, here are some of Hemsworth’s most iconic movie
roles. 





SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN

This isn’t your mom’s Snow White. Coming straight off the heels of the Twilight
franchise, Kristen Stewart dusted off her fairy tale apple to play Snow White in
Snow White and the Huntsman. Hemsworth joined her as Eric, the Huntsman himself,
in this fairy tale that turns the damsel trope on its head. Snow White bests
Eric more than a few times after escaping her evil stepmother Queen Ravenna
(Charlize Theron), who tasked the Huntsman with her retrieval under false
pretenses.

Rupert Sanders directed the movie written by Evan Daugherty, John Lee Hancock,
and Hossein Amini. And while Stewart didn’t appear in the sequel, Hemsworth
reprised his role in 2016's The Huntsman: Winter’s War in 2016, which serves as
a prequel-sequel combo that sheds light on the Huntsman’s past.

THOR/MCU

Chris Hemsworth’s name is synonymous with his MCU character Thor and his trusty
hammer Mjölnir. Marvel Comics put a superhero spin on the classic Norse god of
thunder in the ‘60s, and the MCU adapted the character for the screen in 2011
with the self-titled movie Thor. 

Out of all the MCU heroes, Thor is arguably the gruffest, but he often serves as
comedic relief given the foreign nature of all things human. Of course, that’s
thanks to Hemsworth’s comedic timing that changes and adapts throughout the
franchise alongside Thor’s growth as a hero and a pseudo-human.

Hemsworth has appeared in over a dozen MCU projects as Thor, often alongside his
on-screen brother Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and A-list pals including Natalie
Portman (Jane Foster), Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark), Chris Evans (Steve
Rogers), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner), Scarlett Johansson (Natasha Romanoff), and
Jeremy Renner (Clint Barton).

EXTRACTION

Hemsworth reunited with his frequent MCU directing duo Joe and Anthony Russo for
the 2020 movie Extraction. Joe Russo penned the screenplay adapted from the
comic book Ciudad, which was written by Ande Parks and the Russos. Meanwhile,
Sam Hargrave directed the movie.

Hemsworth leads the charge as Tyler Rake alongside a slate of relatively green
actors. Yet unlike most of his roles, Hemsworth got to dust off his natural
Australian accent for the film while his mercenary character attempts to carry
out a rescue mission for the son of a crime boss. In typical fashion for action
movies with a no-nonsense lead, Tyler grapples with his newfound Dad Era when he
develops a bond with his rescuee that opens up old wounds. 

If you get through the movie and want more Extraction, the Netflix film received
a sequel in 2023. And don’t worry, Hemsworth is still at the forefront of the
movie.

STAR TREK (2009)

If you’re someone who frequently confuses Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pine, 2009’s
Star Trek might be a trippy experience since both play a Kirk in the film.
Hemsworth takes on the character George Kirk, while Pine plays Captain Kirk.
It’s Chris-ception. 

Hemsworth’s character George is a father-to-be, desperate to save his wife
(Jennifer Morrison) and their unborn child — who just so happens to be Pine’s
grown-up character James T. Kirk. Though Star Trek was Hemsworth’s first major
role, his short appearance at the beginning of the movie is both memorable and
impressive. 

J.J. Abrams directed the film written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, which
was, of course, inspired by Gene Roddenbury’s TV show by the same name. The film
features an impressive slate of actors with names like Zachary Quinto (Spock),
Zoe Saldana (Uhura), Winona Ryder (Amanda Grayson), John Chu (Sulu), and OG
Spock actor Leonard Nimoy even appears as Spock Prime.

THE CABIN IN THE WOODS



(Image credit: Alamy)

Joss Whedon’s 2011 film The Cabin in the Woods is quite possibly one of the most
chaotic and unexpected satirical horror films of all time — and that’s why we
love it so much. As is the case with many horror movies, it kicks off with a
group of college kids in a, well, cabin in the woods. It sounds pretty
straightforward, right? Wrong. Though the title may suggest a simple slasher
movie, Whedon’s movie dives deep into a horror conspiracy theory.

Cabin in the Woods stars actors like Kristen Connolly (Dana), Jesse Williams
(Holden), Bradley Whitford (Hadley), Anne Hutchinson (Jules), Richard Jenkins
(Sitterson), and Whedon staples like Amy Acker (Lin), Tom Lenk (Ronald), and
Fran Kanz (Marty). 

Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth seemingly plays the stereotypical jock Curt — but his
character is also hyper-intelligent and kindhearted, breaking the mold of this
particular horror movie characterization.
